    Erin in the Morning does one for the various United States, if it gets so bad that federal regulations attack us, I wouldn’t be surprised to see cities and states declaring themselves official sanctuaries like they do for immigration

      Unfortunately, I don’t think that’s safe enough. What would stop a Trump Gestapo from marching into one of those cities? People need places to seek asylum where Trump’s regime can’t touch them.

        Sure, but I don’t think that’s a salient threat in the near term.

        What would stop a Trump Gestapo from marching into one of those cities?

        Presumably the human people in the military who would prevent it, at least until removed. And the people in the other branches of government who would object to the deployment of federal troops for an overly offensive purpose against the us itself.

            We all take that chance every second of every day, only difference is how strong the presumption is. I am currently confident that I can remain in the country without my life being threatened by the us military in the short term. If trump wins, the numbers will change, but the conclusion will not, at least not immediately.
